Heroku deployment failing to start

[weedgrease]

Just clicked the Deploy to Heroku button in the README and am getting the following in the logs when the dyno starts:

I've tried deploying it several times and failed. Any Luck getting it to work from the heroku button?

It seems the code isn't getting loaded in my case:

 cjs-MBP15:projects cj$ git clone https://git.heroku.com/myrewardsupdater.git
Cloning into 'myrewardsupdater'...
warning: You appear to have cloned an empty repository.
cjs-MBP15:projects cj$

After quite a bit of tinkering with this issue, I realized that the GITHUB_REPO variable isn't a full URL. Rather, it's the repository's Author/Name ID.

So for example, if it were this repository it would be GitbookIO/nuts instead of https://github.com/GitbookIO/nuts

For anyone else running into this error... Another thing that would cause the H10 "App crashed" error is if the GitHub token you were using in your environment variables gets revoked. I started seeing what cdesch described in my Heroku logs, seemingly out of the blue. I hadn't changed the app. The thing that changed was GitHub permissions.
